High Maintenance Nail Studio

Grammy or Logan? 😂

Vacation is sadly over and I am back at it!!

Gone for the week!

Health update:
Surgery went well, it was more intensive than they had initially thought. Lots of scar tissue and endometriosis entwined everywhere but were still able to remove everything with laparoscopy. Recovery is going a little slower because of that but well!! Feeling better every day- thank you for the prayers, texts, meals, books, blankeys and all the goods! I appreciate you all ♥️♥️

Interesting article about the effects of UV lights during gel manicures- thank goodness I use an LED!!

A common nail salon tool may cause DNA damage and mutations in human cells, research finds Radiation from nail dryers may damage DNA and cause cancer-causing mutations in human cells, a new study has found — and that might have you wondering whether your regular gel mani-pedi is worth the risk.

Out of the office June 28-July 11!!

Happy Fall Ya’ll!!

Hot Trend Alert for summer of 2020

Here is an easy nail removal tutorial that Khloe and I created today~ this will work on gel, acrylic and dip nails
1. Supplies needed-acetone, cotton, foil
2. File off top coat so nail is dull, not shiny
3. Soak cotton with acetone, place on nail and wrap with tin foil
4. Do to all 10 nails and let sit for 10 minutes-
5. Remove foil and work one nail at a time
6. Lightly file off remaining product, shape and shorten nail
7. Then- lightly buff smooth
**repeat process on all 10 nails
8. Get a nail strengthener like OPI Nail Envy, apply two coats and let dry
9. Finished nail~ you can also soothe cuticles with oil once polish is dry

Hi everyone~ as your gel nails or acrylics are starting to come off, here is a quick and easy guide to get you through! *please only file your nails in one direction at the free edge
*lightly buff the top of nails to smooth
*careful with the cuticle area- we have been washing and sanitizing and our poor hands are so dry!!
*clean and prep with acetone or rubbing alcohol to remove oils for better polish adhesion
*if you don’t want to mess with a color, do two coats of a nail strengthener, like OPI Nail Envy

Sophie is missing everyone!!

We are all gonna be okay~ 💕
